Many users relocate their "documents" folder (among other folders) to a different location or drive in Windows 10, using the folder's Property | Location dialog. This situation can be handled using the SHGetFolderPath function, for example, rather than by hard coding the location C:\Users\<user>\Documents. May I suggest this be incorporated into FreeFileSync? Tx.

That's already included. Just use an alias from the folder drop down list. See also: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=macros
